To Lin Haijiang's great surprise, it was Edward. Evan actually brought a letter to himself? The content of the letter is very simple and concise, that is, to tell Lin Haijiang that as long as he sails the warship out of the port, he will find a random place to stop for a few weeks to relax and complete the task, and said that he will definitely be grateful, and revealed in the letter that the Dartmouth Naval School is likely to be changed to the Dartmouth Royal Naval Academy in the near future.

It's time to come, it's destined to come, Lin Haijiang smiled at this, don't look at the name of the school, there are two more words royal, the school has become an academy, this is definitely a great change in nature!

The development and growth of the Dartmouth Naval School also marked the arrival of another wave of overseas colonial expansion in Britain because of the challenge of the new aristocratic forces to the old aristocratic forces.

Lin Haijiang also knows very well that after the end of this sea training, I am afraid that I will have to return to China, I heard Steward Zhao say that half a year ago, the master had written to inquire about his studies, and he returned to China to go to Guangdong to be the pipe belt of a small wooden boat?

However, at this moment, Lin Haijiang's head is full of how to make money to buy ironclad ships, according to Lin Haijiang's plan, it doesn't take much, as long as an ironclad ship is blocked outside Alexandria, Egypt for a few days, it is estimated that the money to build three or five ships can come out, and when the British Royal Navy receives the news, he has long been gone, but the immediate delay is this first pot of gold.

On September 10, Lin Haijiang stood on the deck of the renovated Phoenix, and in Lin Haijiang's eyes, the Phoenix was just fresh donkey dung eggs, with a light surface.

According to the practice of the past years, Robert, the director of school affairs, is also the logistics officer of the Phoenix's sea training, and is naturally responsible for handing over all the sea training materials to Lin Haijiang before the battleship goes to sea.

Robert's heart is also fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down, after all, the Phoenix is not a toy, nor is it a river gunboat, commanded by a newly promoted Royal Navy alternate officer to go to sea for sea training? This is also unprecedented in the history of the Dartmouth Naval School.

Robert felt very helpless, and after handing over the powder kegs, bullet boxes and other important supplies, Robert handed over twenty calfskin pockets totaling 2,000 pounds to Lin Haijiang, and told him to go to Miss Bevenny's shop at the end of the dock to buy all the supplies.

Lin Haijiang, who had heard of Robert's affair with Miss Buviney before, nodded seriously with an expressionless face, it seems that this typical directional purchase may not be avoidable.

Faced with a shortage of a large number of sailors, Lin Haijiang came up with a compromise solution, that is, to hire a group of Chinese sailors or simply buy a group of black slave sailors, and these are available in the backstreets of the port bureau, but usually not very large.

Lin Haijiang first walked on the muddy road to Miss Bwinnie's grocery store, although the store belonged to Miss Bwinnie, but Miss Bwinnie herself was not in the store, there was only an old woman in the store who was about to yell and talk.

However, the size, goods and prices of Miss Bevenne's grocery store really surprised Lin Haijiang. Sealed diced willow, lemon? Pork, beef jerky? Cookies in a cardboard box? Hard bread?

Almost everything was stamped with the Royal Navy logo of the British Empire, and Lin Haijiang realized that all the supplies sold in Miss Bevennie's grocery store were standard supplies for the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

But there seems to be some problems with where these military supplies are coming from? Considering the frequent scandals of reselling military materiel in the British army in various colonies in later generations, it seems that the theft of military materiel is really a glorious tradition with a long history of the British Empire's [***] team?

Lin Haijiang is a smart person, so he naturally won't ask, especially before the advice of the teaching director Robert!

It can be said that after the Age of Global Discovery, due to the desire to develop distant colonies, while developing and building a midway supply port, we are also studying how to keep vegetables fresh.

Lin Haijiang knew very well that on the ships on the voyage, many sailors would inexplicably have skin ecchymosis, bleeding gums, and later bleeding all over the body, and many people died mysteriously. The same pathology was widespread among expeditions and armies.

Later generations of scientists eventually found out the cause, and this mysterious disease, characterized by widespread bleeding throughout the body, was a nutritional deficiency disease, that is, "scurvy" caused by vitamin C deficiency.

And for the eighteenth century, when the means of storage and preservation were still backward, in fact, the ancestors of the Chinese had solved this problem a long time ago, and the ordinary bean sprouts became a legend!

China is the birthplace of bean sprouts, and in the early Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the ancestors of the Chinese began to make bean sprouts, which were called "yellow rolls" at that time, and are said to be mainly used for medicinal purposes. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shennong's Materia Medica is the earliest existing pharmaceutical monograph, which contains 365 kinds of medicines, including more than 50 kinds of food, which are divided into upper, middle and lower grades. There are sour dates, grapes, jujubes, etc., and the medicinal power of bean sprouts is listed as medium grade, alongside dried ginger, seaweed, and red adzuki beans. After thousands of years of snow, rain, wind and frost, these foods are still regularly eaten by the people and play an important role in nourishing the human body.

In the eighteenth century, the Chinese brought bean sprouts to Western countries, and in the late 20th century, they were valued by the international modern nutrition community, and set off a "bean sprout fever" in Europe and the United States, listing them as "healthy food".

It is a pity that the Europeans of this era have not paid attention to the sprouts, and scurvy is still the deadly nemesis of the expedition of the Grand Fleet.

But Lin Haijiang was not so kind to tell the British about this good way to deal with scurvy, and many crew members felt strange that Lin Haijiang bought some soybeans?

However, when the temporary Chinese sailors recruited by Lin Haijiang came to the port, the sailors on the ship understood that a large number of bean sprouts were just hometown dishes prepared for his Qing compatriots!

Regarding the temporary hiring of Chinese sailors and black slaves on the ship, the third mate Mitterrand and others on the ship did not express any objections, after all, with enough manpower, his subordinates could suffer a lot less, and this employment fee was paid by Lin Haijiang himself, and in his spare time, he could only sigh that dear Mr. Lin was really a loser.

As Lin Haijiang expected, after learning that he was leading the sea training, the students rushed to Robert to pay the "training fee", in fact, the so-called "training fee" is just a disguised punishment for those students who are unwilling to endure hardship.

In previous years, substitute commanders would have a headache because of the whims of these fledgling command talents, or the different opinions and contradictions among the trainees.

But this year it is clear that it will not be, not only as the commander of Edward. Major Aven did not participate in this voyage exercise, and the entire deck class only had the "former first corporal", and the current Royal Navy alternate officer Lin Haijiang participated in this sea exercise, and the rest of the cadets were desperately wiping the copper buttons on their dresses at the moment, waiting to participate in the celebration, it seemed that the glory of the Royal Navy of the British Empire was only that?

Dear readers, take out your love and collect it, vote a few times, support the little ride, and give me some motivation! Thanks!
